Imagine if your power mad politicians liked Covid Lockdowns so much, they wanted to continue them indefinitely. This is going to be trialled in Oxfordshire in Britain.
Oxfordshire County Council Pass Climate Lockdown ‘trial’ to Begin in 2024
Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved plans to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. The latest stage in the ’15 minute city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city, confining residents to their own neighbourhoods.
Under the new scheme if residents want to leave their zone they will need permission from the Council who gets to decide who is worthy of freedom and who isn’t. Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year, but in order to even gain this every resident will have to register their car details with the council who will then track their movements via smart cameras round the city.
Communism will make the weather better.

Model: Warsaw ghetto, anyone?
These people are truly insane.
In the United States, unlike Great Britain, we own firearms. Now I wonder how long guards would be manning the gates locking you in your neighborhood if people were taking pot shots at them from up above in the trees?
The American people have taken a lot more shit than I can believe, but if there is any blood in our veins from our ancestors there must be a limit.
Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year...

It’s called prison work release.
Snake Pliskin?
This isn’t the Bee??? This is literally insane. This has to be a joke. Has to be. Who in their right mind would go for this?
“Coming to a state near you.”
Democrat run states, that is.
The rest of us have anti-leftist defenses. Thanks to a certain ammendment.
Pot Shots? Hell with that. Guards, and I don’t care who they are should be sent to Hell! Enforcers should be made to FEAR having a very short life expectancy.
Glenn Becks Book “Agenda 21”. Very close folks. Very close to total control by the government.
You really don’t need to drive at all if the government is providing the cattle cars for you.

A lot of retirees who purchased recreational vehicles and
trailers are in for some interesting times, while they
make their second mortgages sitting at home.
Apparently the plan is to reduce traffic congestion in the city...
<<>>
The Central Oxfordshire Travel Plan is part of a countywide Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP).
The LTCP sets a clear vision to deliver a net-zero transport system that enables Oxfordshire to thrive, protects the environment and makes the county a better place for all residents to live.
It includes ambitious targets such as:
cutting car trips by a quarter by 2030
delivering a net-zero transport network by 2040 and
eradicating road fatalities or life-changing injuries by 2050
Why is it needed?
Oxford is very much a historic city with limited road space. So, to alleviate congestion, the council is looking at how individual car journeys can take a back seat so that space-efficient travel options, like zero-emission buses, taxis, and delivery vans, can become the norm.
Average bus speeds in Oxford have been declining on key routes to and from the city centre and employment sites, with only 8mph achieved between the JR hospital and city centre via Cowley Centre during weekday peaks.
Additionally, certain parts of the city regularly breach the legal emission levels, so the council needs to rapidly reduce carbon emissions from all transport-related activities.
There is also the impact of growth to consider. From 2011 to 2031, 100,000 new homes will be built in Oxfordshire, with at least 15,000 in and around Oxford to help with the city’s unmet housing need. Based on current trends, the increased demand for movement in the area will exacerbate congestion in future years.
What is proposed?
Given the issues highlighted above, the council is looking to put in place measures that ensure buses are fast, affordable and reliable, where people can walk and cycle in pleasant and safe environments, and where high-polluting traffic is unnecessary.
More specifically, the council has put forward a set of 22 actions to help achieve a sustainable and reliable transport system across the Central Oxfordshire area, including some significant transport proposals for Oxford city.
From traffic filters and low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) to zero emission zone (ZEZ) and workplace parking levies, here’s just about all you need to know about Oxford’s key traffic initiatives. These traffic initiatives or transport schemes are part of wider proposals to encourage sustainable travel and reduce congestion in the city.
I looked in vain for a satire notice. I wonder if the residents, er, prisoners, are in agreement.
Soviet Union employed similar schemes to limit people movement. But even they were lot more lenient!
E.g. the people could move freely within the city of Moscow.
Oxford is a lot smaller than Moscow, yet it is subdivided into six zones!
Just crazy!
Obviously the global warming is nothing like a scheme to control people.
In SU they limited the people movements so the US spies could be caught! To save the SU!
In Oxford to save the Earth.
This will be a test of the mettle of Oxfordshire County residents. If the Oxfordshire Council is not run out of town on a rail and the barriers are kept in place unmolested, we’ll know that British manhood was decimated by the two world wars.
Say what you want about the French, but according to a Grand Tour program, the French destroyed 60% of the speed cameras installed and 100% of the devices used to catch truckers not following the rules.
Good God...the North Koreans don’t even do that!
Practically nothing surprises me any longer.
